      Pros

      Most people that work there are good people and are easy to work with. For the area pay is good.

      Cons

      Management is one of the worst group of managers I have worked for in BRIM. Most of them haven't worked at any other company in their careers and have been placed in their roles because of who they know. Nepotism is rampant there even though it is against company policies. Schedules change daily because management can't get organized enough to have a proper work flow. Capsugel has bought the company and has brought in big corporate ideals and not rewarding the employees of the company while management are taking in the big bonuses.

      Pros

      Great people - they hire friendly, outdoorsy, younger scientists who make work fun. Good benefits (which have diminished some since being acquired). The lab is in a beautiful location. They're willing to hire entry level people and train them on a variety of instruments so I would recommend them as a good first job.

      Cons

      They expect a lot out of you, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, until you work your butt off and get no recognition. Salary is much lower compared with most of the industry but they justify it because "you get to live in Bend" - that was a direct quote at my exit interview. It is definitely a boys club, so if you're a woman, be prepared to be given fewer opportunities. If you're experienced, this may not be the best place for you.

      Pros

      It was a great place to learn and grow. Pretty much everyone there was brilliant and were great to work with, around or for.

      Cons

      Capsugel bought Bend Research and drastically changed the culture. It seemed like the best people left because they knew what was coming. Bend Research is/was a huge part of the community, but it seems like Capsugel only cares about the bottom line.
